With two of them, it was my first time to meet them since they were born. They're gorgeous, and their personalities are so delightful -- hams who never knew a stranger. I'm looking forward to knowing them more. 
With another, it had been five or more years since I'd seen her. She's rather articulate, a reader, a singer, and a fast-learner -- she had just been taught a crochet stitch minutes before, and she discovered a couple of other stitches on her own. I envy her spatial skills.
It's fascinating to watch kids as they grow up now with more technology than we ever had. (My manual typewriter was a source of pride and giddiness. My electric typewriter saved my first couple years of college. My cousin's Commodore 64 was a source of envy, and my first computer was a Tandy -- haha -- with extremely pixelated games including Dr. J basketball and The Black Cauldron adventure. I remember the Beta vs. VHS debate and the first cordless phones.) Now these babies play with Sidekicks, and far more efficiently than I am capable of doing.
With another, he's just been born, so of course I'm head-over-heels in love.

Thanks for the compliments. We really enjoyed seeing you and POM, too. It's fun to get to know the post College you, and to find that our minds still run in like channels. Oldest daughter says "thank you for taking the pictures."
I can't wait to do a meet-up again! Tell OD it was my pleasure and "thank you for posing for my pictures!"
The beauty of the kind of upbringing you had (and somehow I got it, too, despite the differences in our childhoods) is the ability to develop good friendships, go away for a long time, and then pick up largely where one left off. I'm glad to know it's kind of that way with us. I enjoy being beyond the fog/haze that was college.
